I don't view Mason as a top 10 heavyweight and the Ring Magazine yearly rankings for 1990 and 1991 don't list Mason in their top 10. At the time...
The top 10 as of last year was roughly as follows 1.Anthony Joshua 2. Tyson Fury 3. Deontay Wilder 4. Alexander Povetkin 5. Kubrat Pulev 6....
Shallowness according to who? I don't think the evidence points to the division being shallow. Moorer and old Foreman would be extremely...
Thus if we assume a similar career trajectory today he probably fights someone highly ranked late in 2016 and then fights Joshua in 2017 or 2018....
Mason never beat anyone who proved themselves world-class. You can believe he was a top 10 heavyweight I suppose but there is very little...
Lewis won gold in the 1988 Olympics then turned pro in 2013. He didn't step up in competition until late 1992 when he faced Ruddock. Given his...
Given his actual losses and close to calls with guys like Mercer and a faded Holyfield I think the reasonable conclusion is that if he is around...
Calling Wilder a fraud seems a bit excessive. He has already arguably accomplished more in his career than Hasim Rahman and Oliver McCall. If...
This argument that Floyd owed his success to selective matchmaking is pretty silly. The guys he didn't fight are no better than the guys he beat....
No, I don't think Bowe has much of a shot with Joshua or Wilder. He is just too easy to hit and has been hurt by lesser punchers. He won't be...
Gonzalez is an especially silly pick, he built his reputation beating journeyman types
Gonzalez and Cooper never stopped anyone world class. I wouldn't classify either as punchers at the world level. Butler has a stoppage of Tubbs...
No, he wasn't the premier heavyweight given his blatant ducking of the best heavyweights in the world. How can he be number 1 when he won't fight...
We never saw him against Tyson, Lewis, or Ruddock all big hitters and one of whom stopped him quickly in the amateurs. Holyfield is not a huge...
Bowe had poor defense and a so-so chin. I think his lack of defense would cause him big problems against the divisions big hitters like Joshua...
